<p>Last year, Roger Linn Design released <a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/2009/11/introducing-adrenalinn-sync/">AdrenaLinn Sync</a>, a software plug-in that provides the same unique beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects of the AdrenaLinn III guitar pedal, plus quite a bit more. Now they have released <strong><a href="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinnsync/">AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</a></strong>, a completely rewritten and dramatic improvement over the original. And it&#8217;s free to all purchasers of the original version.</p>
<p><span id="more-2408"></span><strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> is written in conjunction with Way Out Ware, makers of TimeWArp2600 and KikAxxe, critically-acclaimed emulations of vintage Arp analog synthesizers. Version 2 takes advantage of Way Out Ware&#8217;s flawless analog-modeled filters and audio processing technology, resulting in a very wide variety of truly exciting, unique and inspiring sounds.</p>
<p>With <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong>, all the special capabilities of AdrenaLinn Sync—simultaneous filter/volume/pan modulation, Snap To Scale, randomness probability controls, tube-modeled distortion, 8 bar stereo delay with delay loops, noise beats, synth loops and more—really shine.</p>

</span></p>
<p>Key changes in <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vastly improved Filters: Warm, full &amp; accurate analog-modeled Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Flanger and Phaser, created in collaboration with Way Out Ware, makers of the highly-acclaimed software emulations of vintage Arp synthesizers, TimeWArp 2600 and KikAxxe. The quality and variety of both conventional and unusual tones is remarkable.</li>
<li>Completely rewritten to replace Cycling 74&#8217;s Pluggo technology. This adds compatibility with all DAWs including Cubase and also Ableton Live while running Max For Live.</li>
<li>A sexy—but very functional—new look, rendered in true 3D to emulate the look of AdrenaLinn III&#8217;s knobs, buttons and panel.</li>
<li>All new presets—beautiful and inspiring—that truly show off the new sound capabilities.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Mac AU/VST version of <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> is available now, with Mac RTAS and Windows VST/RTAS coming soon.</p>
<p><strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> may be purchased online, directly from Roger Linn Design, for $99. Owners of the original version will receive an email this week containing a free upgrade to version 2.</p>

<p>Audio Damage has announced the availability of <a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/effects/product.php?pid=AD025"><strong>Discord3</strong></a>, a comprehensive refresh of their popular Discord series of multi-effects. From subtle ADT effects to completely chaotic granular destruction, and everything in between, <strong>Discord3</strong> is a capable and broad-reaching multi-effect plug-in.</p>
<p><span id="more-2380"></span>The pitch-shifter consists of three separate algorithms: a &#8220;vintage&#8221; mode (the original Discord algorithm, modeled on the Eventide H910 and H949), a &#8220;clean&#8221; mode for more modern shifting sounds, and a &#8220;granular&#8221; mode for experimental effects. Each mode has its strengths, depending on the input material, and <strong>Discord3</strong> has a broad palette of capabilities as a result. The P1 and P2 algorithms have full control over the buffer (window) size of the shift effect, for fine tuning the shift to the input signal, or for stranger sound effects. At the extremes of the six-octave shift range, some truly strange aliasing and artifacts can be had with this control.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a nice, clean diatonic pitch shifter for fine surgery and re-pitching the full program, this may not be for you. <strong>Discord3</strong> is a tool for sound design, barberpole shifting delays, and special effects. Think Eno, Visconti, Bowie, or Dirty Mind-era Prince and you&#8217;ll be on the right track.</p>
<p><strong>Discord3</strong> Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pitch Shifting — <strong>Discord3</strong> contains a pair of shifters with three separate algorithms (Vintage, Clean, and Granular) for different styles of pitch shifting.</li>
<li>Buffer Size Control — The P1 (Vintage) and P2 (Clean) algorithms have a Buffer Size control, from 32 to 2048 samples, for fine-tuning the pitch shifting effect.</li>
<li>Delay — Tempo-synced or free-running delays with feedback, cross-feedback, and a sophisticated bandpass filter.</li>
<li>Modulation — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a pair of LFOs that can modulate delay time, pitch shift amount, and filter center frequency.</li>
<li>True Stereo Operation — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a true stereo signal path, with entirely independent control over each side.</li>
<li>All New GUI — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a completely re-designed GUI, with animated displays and a unique &#8220;grab-the-digit&#8221; value adjustment method.</li>
<li>MIDI Note Control — Six octaves of pitch-shifting can be controlled with MIDI note input.</li>
<li>Full MIDI Learn — <strong>Discord3</strong> features MIDI learn for every parameter, for full hardware control.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Mac version of <strong>Discord3</strong> requires an Intel processor, OS X 10.5 or newer and an AU or VST 2.0 host. 64-bit versions will be available by mid-June.</p>
<p><strong>Discord3</strong> is available directly from Audio Damage for $59. If you already own Discord 1, 1.5, or 2, an <a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/xgrades/product.php?pid=AD025U">upgrade</a> is available for $10.</p>

Line 6, Inc. has released POD Farm 2 and POD Farm 2 Platinum, a pair of AU, RTAS and VST plug-ins built upon the foundations set by their predecessors to deliver extensive model counts, a simple yet powerful workflow and world-renowned POD tone for any digital audio workstation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/In-Search-Of-rock-MA.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2258" title="In-Search-Of-rock-MA" src="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/In-Search-Of-rock-MA-485x320.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Line 6, Inc. has released <strong><a href="http://line6.com/podfarm/">POD Farm 2</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://line6.com/podfarm/">POD Farm 2 Platinum</a></strong>, a pair of AU, RTAS and VST plug-ins built upon the foundations set by their predecessors to deliver extensive model counts, a simple yet powerful workflow and world-renowned POD tone for any digital audio workstation.</p>
<p><span id="more-2257"></span>“The new plug-ins offer extensive updates and functionality that recording guitarists have been asking for,” remarked Mike Murphy, Category Manager for POD and PC Products at Line 6. “Enhanced routing with flexible DSP, POD Farm Elements, and full MIDI support provide an experience that’s both powerful and intuitive.”</p>
<p>The enhanced routing with flexible DSP (digital signal processing) inspires creativity and allows for a broad range of tones. Users can build Dual Tones, which are dual signal chains that can be played separately or simultaneously. Dual Tones can include up to twenty effect models of any type placed in any order within the signal chain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="kSU84XC0LOg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kSU84XC0LOg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>Included with both <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong>, POD Farm Elements are additional plug-ins that contain POD Farm models grouped together by type. By providing access to single amp, preamp or effect models at a time, users can choose an exceptionally streamlined workflow and a modular approach to Line 6 modeling.</p>
<p>MIDI support offers complete control over <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> via any MIDI controller, including Line 6 FBV MkII-series foot controllers. Intuitive MIDI Learn functionality makes it easy to configure remote control of all amp and effect parameters including model bypass, volume, mute, global tap tempo and more, including tone switching with the new virtual A/B/Y box.</p>
<p>The wide variety of models in <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> (including 78 guitar amps—from boutique combos to high-gain stacks—24 cabs, 28 bass amps, 22 bass cabs, 97 effects and six crucial microphone preamps), and the distilled model set of <strong>POD Farm 2</strong>, deliver unparalleled ranges of tone. When the tonal variety couples with the refinements made to the sleek <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> interface, users can create rich, complex tone presets quickly and easily.</p>
<p>On the Mac, <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> require OS X 10.4.6 or later running on a minimum 1.8 GHz dual G5 processor. Both plug-ins are available for use with either an iLok USB Smart Key or Line 6 hardware. A free 15-day trial version is available for download as well.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>POD Farm 2</strong> for Line 6 hardware &#8211; $49</li>
<li><strong>POD Farm 2</strong> for iLok &#8211; $99</li>
<li><strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> for Line 6 hardware &#8211; $249</li>

<p>Loomer has announced modular multi-effects plug-in <strong><a href="http://www.loomer.co.uk/sequent.htm">Sequent</a></strong>, the perfect tool for mangling audio on stage or in the studio. The effects, including a flexible beat looper and a pair of filters capable of self oscillation, can be connected in practically limitless combinations by simply dragging virtual cables between them.</p>
<p><span id="more-2129"></span><strong>Sequent</strong> has seven individual effect blocks: a Beat Looper; two Filters, both switchable between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes and capable of self oscillation even without an audio input; an oversampled Distortion unit; a Gate with variable depth and slew; a Panner; and a Delay unit capable of sub millisecond delay times, great for creating everything for from dub, slapback, and bouncing ball style echoes, to metallic comb filters or flanger effects.</p>
<p>Each effect parameter can be sequenced with one of twenty-two step sequencers, controlled live via a midi controller, or even left to chance by using the random mode. Sequences are combined into patterns which can be switched instantly between using either the on-screen interface or the notes on a midi keyboard.</p>

<p>On the Mac, <strong>Sequent</strong> requires OS X 10.4 or later, a PowerPC or Intel processor at 1 GHz or faster, 512 MB RAM, and a host that supports AU, VST or RTAS plug-ins. <strong>Sequent</strong> can also run as a standalone application as necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Sequent</strong> is available to purchase at the Loomer website for £49. An free evaluation version is also available for download.</p>

<p>Universal Audio has announced the release of the highly anticipated <strong><a href="http://www.uaudio.com/products/software/manley/index.html">Manley Massive Passive EQ</a></strong> plug-in. Working with Manley Labs, Universal Audio’s <strong>Massive Passive EQ</strong> plug-in represents the most ambitious hardware EQ modeling project to date, bringing UAD-2 users both the standard and mastering versions of this world-renowned EQ in one package.</p>
<p><span id="more-2099"></span>The two-channel, four-band <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> utilizes design strengths from choice console, graphic, parametric and Pultec EQs — delivering a fundamentally different EQ that’s beyond compare. The <strong>Massive Passive’s</strong> natural treatment of a signal lends itself to both radical tonal shaping as well as delicate vocal shading or subtle mastering enhancement.</p>
<p>“The <strong>Massive Passive EQ</strong> is one of our best-known products. We didn’t even want to entertain the idea of doing a plug-in unless it was really going to be done right,” commented EveAnna Manley, Owner, Manley Laboratories, Inc. “Our expectations were high for the plug-in emulation to be spot-on. Working with Universal Audio, we believe they’ve totally nailed it.”</p>
<p>The <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> Powered Plug-In features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Highly coveted 2-channel, 4-band, passive, tube EQ emulation plug-in, both standard and mastering versions</li>
<li>Painstakingly modeled over a six month period and rigorously scrutinized by Manley Labs for authenticity</li>
<li>Filter curves, band interdependencies, distortion and hysteretic behavior all represented in plug-in — yielding a unique, very musical and “open” sound</li>
</ul>
<p>“The <strong>Massive Passive</strong> is truly the ultimate in mastering grade EQs. It sounds warm without ever being dull; it stays precise while remaining highly musical,” offered UAD Powered Plug-Ins Product Manager, Will Shanks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Manley Labs represents quality, sonic excellence and unequivocal analog design expertise,&#8221; enthused Matt Ward, President of Universal Audio. &#8220;There has always been a special affinity between our companies, and we are elated to have EveAnna Manley joining us a plug-in partner for the UAD-2 platform.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> plug-in is available for purchase via UA’s Online Store for $299. It is part of the new UAD Software v5.6.0 release, in addition to <a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/2010/03/universal-audio-issues-emt-140-plate-reverb-for-uad/">The EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverb</a>, and the Precision Enhancer Hz plug-ins. UAD Software v5.6.0 is available as a FREE download to Mac and PC users worldwide.</p>
